Bunch of reports and articles have now arisen that the PC version of Alan Wake is now done for.

Microsoft's statements:

"Some games are more suited for the intimacy of the PC, and others are best played from the couch in front of a larger TV screen,"

"We ultimately realised that the most compelling way to experience Alan Wake was on the Xbox 360 platform, so we focused on making it an Xbox 360 exclusive. Both Microsoft and Remedy have long histories in PC game development. This decision was about matching this specific game to the right platform."

With the exception that Remedy are the creators. They've only made 3 games but those games were AWESOME. I have tons of respect for them, and it is kinda sad that the PC version is cancelled. I see their point though, but still.

I doesnt matter if you guys aren't interested in the game, but the decision to do what they did was a major hit to the PC community, if that practice eventually becomes more common, i mean saying its not the right plataform? WTF, PC is always the right plataform. Geez!

I've been pissed off at the fact that consoles > PC's as a gaming platform for years now... Don't even get me started.

There we go, yeah i remember back in the days being awed by watching that video, but everything there looks pretty common now a days. I also think this game is better off for a console since its all silent hill'ish

I just lost all respect for Remedy, they were one of my favorite devs for the work they did with the Max Payne games. Its a shame really, this game looked very good. Although I have a 360, I'll prolly avoid this one for a while out of disgust.

But, seriously, it is bullshit what they are claiming 'swayed' them to a console only release. A lot of people game on a PC in their living room with a control pad. I think you will find its like someone else said "the technology behind this game has been and gone" (PC wise)

If it were any publisher other than Microsoft, I'd say it would have a chance at a late release on PC (if the Xbox 360 version had success). Microsoft doesn't care about Windows gaming as demonstrated with Halo, Fable, and the remnants of MechWarrior.

Honestly, I can kind of agree. There hasn't been a successful survival horror on PC yet. That is one genre that consoles have nailed to the wall. Not really all that disappointed, it should rock on the 360.
